Old Top Gear Volvo C70 Coupé

[jrms999]

love the rave up at the end....Volvo forever

[MrsBrownsBoysFeck]

Whoever was driving the S70 at the start wasn't driving it properly - he should have had the headlights on! :P

[MrsBrownsBoysFeck]

2:56 Peter Horton? I thought that the Chief Designer of Volvo at the time was Peter Horbury?

[donnar307]

[eddson11]

I LOVE the orange C70 I never liked the appearance of any volvo before (except the volvo amazon) I'm aiming to get a C70 & an Amazon though :D

[steveingvar]

beautiful car

[Manfrendjinsindjin]

Isn't it astonishing how Volvo's then-design boss Peter Horton looks almost exactly like his successor, Peter Horbury?

[thesloaneranger1]

ive got a c70 convertible, and even though its now over 9 years old it doesnt look to have aged a day. the heated leather seats ensure its practical in winter too..... oh, and the factory standard subwoofers in behind the rear seats are fantastic :) ive had mine nearly 2 years now, and i dont think ill be getting rid of it........ i NEVER thought id buy a volvo, yet alone not want to part with it! lol!

[Scriptor007]

Best Coupe :0 ;)

[djsvolvoman]

@elpanico yea if you want to change tyres every 1000 miles. We had a V70 classic T5 and the engine was too big for the car. Used to wipe the floor with every car who came alongside. I've just bought the new V70 225HP and this is totally different. Holds the road like a train would on tracks.

[djsvolvoman]

I have a c70 2.0T classic and it is a fantastic car. The sound system is the 100W verson and it is like no other sound system in a car I've ever heard.

[ElPanico]

@djsvolvoman yeah, volvo always have awesome sound systems in their cars, but i would get the T5 with 240HP

[godofleet]

yeah he said that what the hell?! lol

[stefan032032]

which motor have this c70...i heard that a lot of volvos have renault motors? please answer ....

[W1zzar3]

@stefan032032 Volvo has Volvo made engines, they used to use TDCi by Ford (different name than TDCi but its the 103kW one) but not anymore, it´s pure Volvo don´t be afraid :)

[xtyson5]

looks like a old mustang...

[hinkspade]

Nobody ever, woke up in the morning saying wow! I really must have a volvo!

The solid swede is god but always been a car you buy with your head and not your heart..they're pragmatic, sensible and serious....Until now that is! :D

[torso99]

240 740 940 are still best volvo on the market

[23chilled]

@torso99 850 was the rocker, the rebel, the less of a volvo to drive. The 5 pot units were great to drive. Not saying those models at all are bad as my grandfather & uncle owned all those models through the years. My dad bought the 850 which i later purchased was much better to drive for an estate. The 850 is what put the word 'fun' back into volvo

[tescofood]

Dad had this car was a right beast and pretty fast. sold now;/

[HeRmItDaShE]

No joke about volvo sound system

As a original, its still better than.most cars made today. I know cause my dad had a xc90 its awsome..

[jacktharippares]

my parents have one with only 1 220 miles on it

[TheBass2themax]

Proud owner of red 2000 c70R w/200K miles and it's still one of the most beautiful cars on the road. Running strong...

[bebike1211]

This is soooo not true. I'm personally totally in love with Volvo's I think they are beautiful and when I first saw my C70 I purchased 2 days ago I almost cried it was so breathtaking!!

[TheCarismaGT]

PLEASE! Does anyone know the name of the song at the end?

[flybli]

@TheCarismaGT capella - move on baby

[TheCarismaGT]

@flybli Nice, thnx :)

[wallstreetyoung]

LOL! Horny?

[volvo145]

oh i very much only bought my car with heart and not head. the look was 80% of why i boguht it.

[1100HondaCB]

I love Volvos. Sensible car and what you see is what you get.

[Bigdaddycooldiesel74]

You're gay, you scrawny little fag

[BALROGG111]

gay car

[yamahaevo]

@BALROGG111 why?

[23chilled]

i'd love one of those but they are still out of my price bracket, they hold their value. I miss my 850 though that was a serious bit of kit i also fitted the wheels on it that are featured in the video. If you dont mind the looks the 850 is a superb handling car with plenty of dynamics. An underrated car of this world.

[eortegareynoso17]

lmfao <3 the 80's music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[hadak11]

WOW

[blecktrommel]

How beautiful isn´t this one, moves like a monster. I have a 2.4t which kickes from 80km/h to 140 in three seconds. I bought it from the princess Kristina of sweden for almost nothing. It´s awesome.

[TubesteakNikka]

That car is gay as aids

[xsaab93x]

@TubesteakNikka

like u are little pig boy

[TheBass2themax]

@zznwea no, haunting

[TheBass2themax]

@zznwea Honing

[TheBass2themax]

Bought a used 2001 C70R last week... I absolutely LOVE IT

[Slartey]

I bought my C70 HT Coupe (sport suspension, manual transmission with BBS 18" wheels) in 1998 and she's still going strong - today we reached 130,000 (original clutch). Beautiful car - I'll never sell it.

[forestcamper]

Haha I think Quentin is overcompensating a little bit at 4:47

[hoops369]

my c70 is nasty

[doraemon8061]

Volvo cars look cool although the S models have wierd headlights, but it looks cool and crisp for years

[choppy57]

own a 98 t5 unbelievable when the turbo kicks in,love it,bit thirsty but you cant have everything

[drivervbg]

I build these cars once in time,,,, we cheated a lot... but its still a good looking car....

[xxxXaLeXsXxxx]

@drivervbg

cheated alot with what?

[volvo145]

I bought a 760 with all my heart, best looking european car ever made, lovely to drive and overall jsut a stunner.

[volvert5]

really beautiful!!!!!!!!!! i miss the old volvos!!

[volvo145]

@volvert5 this hideous car is nto an old volvo. its a new volvo. Volvo were ruined designed wise in 1998 wjem tje S80 came along., the c70 and s40 brought the ugliness there. Thankfully for the eyes Volvo 740 is hte most ocmmon volvo after thge v70. 18 years aftert it ended produciton.

[oddjono]

shame the scuttle shake was so bad on the drop top.

[spesqueira73]

I have a 2002 coupe c70 and the 5 cyl. turbo 2.3l is friggin' awesome almost too much engine for a car this size. But I wouldn't have it any other way!

Gotta love those timeless lines, funny I hear it all the time "It's a Volvo" LOL!!

[Scriptor007]

I love this car

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

such a cool looking car

[DJVEGAS1000]

i have the 03 soft drop top with white leather interior its a stunning car drive not as good as quentin made out though but excellent volvo none the less

[ChevyBM]

the C-70 is a good looking car, too bad its front wheel drive... I had an S-70 some time ago and I was thinking of trading it in for a C-70 but i ended up with a Camaro :P

[RATio77]

I have been owning this car since 2003 and every ride is such a fine experience! The design is one of the most elegant and timeless ever!

[Marlow925]

I had a '04 C70 Convertible and it's all they say it is, absolutely stunning. MisterScania is right, the Peugeot 406 Coupe was there .. for a second and then all focus moved to the Volvo C70. It has been build in this form and shape until 2005 and was the last real Volvo. Matter of fact, the C70 was build in a factory of it's own. After that, there's just Ford.

[DAVCOUGAR]

whats the music at the end?

[monstercameron]

"...horny..." how did that get in there.

[CrazyBadBastard]

love that car :D

[MisterScania]

Lovely motor! Remember when Peugeot were all excited about the launch of their 406 Coupe at about the same time? It was a very pretty car, but was out-shined by this beauty!

[robban775]

volvo FTW!!

[konkolas17]

It still looks new to me even now, like being produced nowadays.. The design of this car will get old really slow,,

[mazinais31]

@konkolas17 sorry but the front of the car just dont belong there, the back end is really good ... front just had to be made sleeker already when they released it

[kirkpatrickdavid]

@konkolas17 seriously? It looks incredibly dated. You can pick one up for under £1000. That says a lot!

[AlexanderLindell]

C70 looks good

[alernest]

Thanks...
